Thank you again! Last request.....is there an off the shelf additive (flexidry/rono stuff) that my good old fashioned builder can add to the screed he's gonna knock up! It would be nice to reducing the drying time, so we can tile quicker. Any suggestions on the makeup of a good screed would be...

Blimey. The underfloor heating bloke has been telling me it needs laying under the screed, and it doesn't !!!!! Just stick it to primer on top of the screed and tile over it. Breakdoen of communication between me and the floor heat company! Thanks to you guys, I now have a clear picture of...

I hadn't thought of screeding under the ufh. Just got a quote for liquid screed, 5.3m x 3.95m by 54mm £800 cash fitted. Is that reasonable? I thought it would be about £600 cash

Thanks buddy! Will do! I'm just hearing from liquid screed people that it's wise to have only 50mm screed over ufh. Looks like I'll be putting 20mm insulation down!

Thanks guys. You are quite correct, the bufold man has just been and was only interested in the height from the damp course. I have 58mm to play with, including underfloor heating, screed and finished tiles for the bifolds to fit. A total of 95mm from the slab to the top of the finished tile ...

Excellent question. I will ask the bifold man today! Thanks so much.

Thanks for that chaps. I went for the pour in the end, as the access for the crane was impossible ....apparently! I appreciate your reply greatly. Colin

Advice please! I have a 5m x 4m extension underway. Got my slab down, with the insulation boards under whacked down type 1 below the slab. My plans say to put 75mm screed down, BUT no allowance has been made for dry underfloor heating - and the bifold company are due to visit for measurements...

Me again, another weird question I hope you can advise on. Two storey extension (5m x 4m footprint). Digging out the foundations today and my builder says " don't think a crane can drop the concrete floor joists in the garden, we are gonna have to change to a poured floor" I have 3m hedges...

Hi again. Look forward to receiving details of the k rend person you used in Oxford. Spike

Thanks, it does look like its the same or very similar stuff! Really appreciate your reply. Just got to find someone who does this near Oxford/Aylesbury now. I wasn't sure if fitted bifolds before or after rendering as "bloke in the pub" totally confused me!

Hi everyone. A couple of questions that I hope you can answer please. 5 years ago ( before I owned it) my house was rendered with a bobbly cream substance, which when peeled off seems to be almost rubber on its back - it was sprayed on by a company aparantly. Any idea what this might be please...

Thanks very much, I'll try Thames water and see if they can shed a little light on its location. I appreciate greatly your replies.

Hi I'm looking to build an extension on the back of my house(with a bathroom) but can't find any manhole covers or plans to shower where my existing sewage goes! Last owners put a patio over where I guess any manhole might have been. Rather than dig holes in the patio, is there an alternative...

Not going to help I'm afraid.... but I have the identical problem. New board worked for 4 days.... weather got a bit chilly.... CH starts playing up. Never happened in the summer/ autumn Hope someone can help us.!

Put a new board and thermistor in my suprima 50 as the boiler repeatedly blew out. 4 days of everything working fine for a change, then tonight it started blowing out again and wont even let me restart the boiler at the restart switch. Coincidentally, when i turn OFF the room thermostat.... the...

Help! :( I have a Suprima boiler ( always tempramental )which yesterday would not let me turn the CH off at the control panel. Today, I can only get the CH to work by calling for HW. If the HW reaches temperature, the radiators go off. Incidentally, if I use the main house thermostat to try...
